One More Night
Sydney Lauren Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was dark in the bar, I was waiting on a friend
Beside the candlelight I saw your eyes
You gazed at my long brown hair, I forgot where I was
You felt less like a stranger, and i felt far from being lost

This is the fantasy
I dreamed of getting lost in
This is the fantasy
I never thought would happen

See me so bare in the moonlight
Not a name to say for goodbye
Just a face and moment thats only ours
No cameras to document this
No mothers to give their acceptance
Just me and you and all of the stars
So don’t share a word
Let me have this moment one more night

4am, empty bar, the suns about to rise
My eyes are feelin heavy, but I’ll get no sleep tonight

This is the fantasy
I dreamed of getting lost in
This is the fantasy
I never thought would happen

See me so bare in the moonlight
Not a name to say for goodbye
Just a face and moment thats only ours
No cameras to document this
No mothers to give their acceptance
Just me and you and all of the stars




So don’t share a word
Let me have this moment one more night

Overall Meaning

In Sydney Lauren's song "One More Night," the singer describes a chance encounter in a dark bar. Set against the backdrop of candlelight, the singer's attention is captivated by someone's gaze. In that moment, they feel a connection that transcends the boundaries of being strangers. The lyrics convey a sense of longing for a fantasy, a dream of getting lost in an unexpected connection with someone.


The fantasy the singer describes is something they never thought would actually happen. It is a moment of escape from reality, where they can be themselves without the pressures of societal expectations or the need for validation from others. They find solace in being seen and understood by this person, even if it is just for one night.


The lyrics evoke a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. The singer emphasizes the absence of external factors that could disrupt or document their connection. There are no cameras to capture this moment, no judgmental mothers to give or withhold their acceptance. It is a pure and private moment between the singer and the person they are drawn to. The singer pleads for silence, for the preservation of this fleeting moment, wanting to hold on to it for one more night.


The second verse introduces a sense of melancholy. It is early morning, the bar is empty, and the sun is about to rise. The singer's eyes are heavy with exhaustion, implying that they won't be able to sleep because they are consumed by their thoughts and memories of this encounter. The fantasy they thought was impossible has become a cherished memory, lingering in their mind even as the night comes to an end.


Overall, "One More Night" explores the universal desire for connection and the bittersweet yearning to prolong moments of intimacy and understanding, even if they can only exist momentarily.
